Why are you bumping. He needs to answer the basic questions like what car is it and what OBD2 engine is. It will make a huge difference.

In that case run a '96 - '99 Integra engine harness if you can get your hands on one as it eliminates most of the wiring.

you wont have to remove any pins just add vtec wires, knock sensor wires, and iab wires to your shock tower harness or make your own.

p28 will not operate the IABs, so you won't need to wire that in

keep ur d series harness... ull need to splice or get a jumper harness for ur dizzy, alternator, and maybe extend ur o2 and iat and wire up vtec, other then that ur set. don't worry about the ckp, obd1 doesn't need it to run, i just left it unplugged. run a p28 and ur set.

Do not keep your stock dx harness. Your obd2 harness will plug right up to the three plugs at the shock tower. All you will need to do at that point is run vtec wires and knock from the shock tower to your ecu.please use the search function and or the FAQ at the top of this section most if not all of your questions will. Be answers there
